The theory of factor barriers in the generative compositional model A reading of aspects of its descriptive and explanatory adequacy

The distance separating the moving elements from their original positions varies in length and shortness depending on the type of sentences, the form the government hierarchy configuration takes, and how the joints of this hierarchy are distributed. The factors of diversity in all these generally depend on on:1. The nature of the domain from which constituent moved: is it an « Island domain» (islands do not allow movement to occur) or not? 2. the position of this domain: is it a primary or subordinate domain? And if it is a subordinate domain, is it a complement, adjunct, or subject?.3. and on the original position of the moving element itself: is it complement, adjunct, or subject? In each of these scenarios, the structure of the government configuration is set following the characteristics of each of these forms, resulting in variations in the Barrierhood proportion of its joints (i.e., the joints of the government configuration) depending on the structure complexity.
The "Barriers" model was one of the essential syntactic models produced by generative linguistics before the Minimalist Program area. Its questions and problems played a significant role in the critical reviews that led to the emergence of this program. This analytical model, in my opinion, is a robust theoretical framework for any syntactic approach that seeks to explain why «Government» reaches its targets (Traces in particular) in some configurations but not in others. One of the main advantages of this model is that it also sheds more light on the fact that the choices of the different natural languages in this regard reproduce the same universal principles and laws, despite apparent differences.
